Hi guys and gals,

took this this evening, prime focus though my Intes m500 unguided on the EQ6 (just slapped up rought pole no alignment) of the moon at 12%.

Pentax *istDS, no image manipulation (yet) :lol:

They are great, I just read up about earthshine tonight, so I am wrapped to be able to see detail in the dark bit!!!

Very nice David, I like the first two the best. They capture the atmosphere of the evening too.

Hey Houghy, nice range of pics, number two is especially good and nicely toned, love the earthshine exposures too:)

[h0ughy]

Thanks Robert

Why the difference in colour houghy?

[h0ughy]

different exposure times, low on the horizon, ;)

Number 2 is my favourite. Nice and sharp with a more natural colour.

[h0ughy]

thanks jjjnettie ;)

Hey houghy

Nice work. Definitely 2 for mine but I like the effort with the earthshine too:)

Ain't the moon great!

Houghy, number 4 (1079) is one the best earthshine shots I have ever seen! Must of been some nice cloud cover over the Indian Ocean/Africa that evening? ;) well done :) can you combine one of the short exposures with it? - would look hot!

[videoguy]

Nice work mate

[h0ughy]

I would go so far as to say that :lol: But thanks for the vote of confidence. might try that over the weekend :)

[h0ughy]

well we will see what difference a Skywatcher ED80 make next ;)

Thanks
